Abstract

The AI Navi Corona module will conduct a case study exploring artificial intelligence's influence on sense-making and decision behavior in the social landscape of Covid-19 as influenced by one publically-released Coronavirus app in Germany. The case study will examine 1) the perspectives of the stakeholders and app developers, their assumptions of trust, personal & societal responsibility and their expectations of user behaviours; 2) the user experience and interactions with the app among German university students; and 3) app usage's influence on users' beliefs about the pandemic and decision-making around infection-control.
